The Picture Communication Tool comprises sets of drawings that
can be used with people whose first language is not English, or who are
unable to communicate verbally. It cannot replace the need for
interpreters but can be particularly useful for day to day activities
within a medical setting.

The drawings can be used to reinforce what has been explained to patients.
They can be kept in the possession of a patient on the ward, so he/she can
make their needs understood. In some instances, it may be helpful for the
staff to have them, for instance the menu cards can be useful for the
staff serving meals.

If you find them useful, please pass the website details to others. To
request further drawings, or to comment on the website, go to our feedback
page. We gladly accept donations so that we may continue to
commission more drawings. We would also welcome corporate sponsorship.
